    I get the joke, but it's kind of a shitty joke.

    "Haha, you've decided morals are more important than flavour"

    I mean, yeah. It's an ethical trade-off?

    "Haha, you donated $1 to pay for mosquito nets in third world countries. You've decided lives are more important than money"

    mosquito nets in third world countries

    oooohhh....yeah....about those...

    turns out the mosquito nets are devastating local fish populations, because people use them to fish, since they get them as a finished product instead of having to knit nets themselves. and starvation being a bigger immediate threat, they prioritize that over malaria.

    the nets are also laced with toxic chemicals (against the mosquitoes), which are extremely toxic to fish.

    they also have much smaller holes, so they catch the young offspring as well, leading to rapid depletion of stocks.

    so, yeah...good idea in theory, but didn't turn out so great...
